Why would you consider Ron Paul's following a "cult"? This presents a negative impression on any new comer that might read your article about Ron Paul... but I guess that is your whole point, huh?
What a load of crap our "media" and "journalists" are now. You are supposed to be a truth bearer and provide a sort of protection against corrupt government.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that makes sense.
He would have a bigger following, too, if main stream media decided to like him.

From my experience on the ground and through writing contacts, Ron Paul supporters are very educated. They know the history and government elements of present countries, and also those past countries that have already fallen, giving us a very interesting lesson indeed. Ron Paul understands economics; did you see the debate where Paul had to EXPLAIN inflation to Thompson??
Voting for Thompson is like voting for George Clooney.... and that, I believe would be a cult following.
